Frozen Spotted Babylon Snails

A coastal favourite with a shell worth showing off - brown and white spots over a smooth spiral, and a plump, springy piece of meat tucked inside. Flash-frozen soon after harvest so the natural sweetness stays put.

Why You Will Love It

• Distinctive spotted shells that look as good on a platter as they taste
• Firm, bouncy meat with a sea-sweet finish and no rubbery chew
• Cleaned and processed, so preparation is minimal
• Works boiled, stir-fried, braised or served cold

How to Cook

Thaw in the refrigerator and rinse the shells well. Drop them into boiling water until the meat is just done, then serve with a garlic and chilli dip. For deeper flavour, boil first and soak in a seasoned mix of chilli, garlic, spring onion and vinegar. However you cook them, stop early - overcooking is what makes the meat tough.

Storage

Keep frozen at -18 C or below. Thaw in the refrigerator before preparation and do not refreeze after full thawing. Reseal the packaging so they do not pick up other odours.
